Commenting on the transaction was John Evans, CEO and Founder of Azorra:
“Our strong partnerships with Airbus and Pratt & Whitney have been key to facilitating this creative transaction.”
“These young, well-maintained aircraft with freshly overhauled, updated engines from Pratt & Whitney have strong market demand and are very attractive to Azorra’s rapidly growing customer base.”
“We are so grateful for EGYPTAIR’s trust and confidence in Azorra to provide a fleet transition solution, while clearing the path for new Airbus widebody aircraft.”
Adding to this was Eng. Yehia Zakria, CEO & Chairman of EGYPTAIR Holding:
“We highly value the creativeness shown by Azorra. We are thankful to the team for their commitment which led to such a successful transaction.”
Such a transaction now means that Azorra will add these 12 Airbus A220-300s to their current orderbook and portfolio.
Looking ahead, all eyes will be on how many more purchases the lessor will make from other operators of the aircraft type.
